Mile 291 - Camp Magruder north, Watseco, Twin Rocks SW - June 12, 2020

Report Details

A cloudy day at the beach. Not many people in my mile. About a dozen in all. 4 dogs, all off-leash. I found just a few pieces of marine debris in the wrack, small plastic pieces. Lots of shell fragments, seaweed, crab molts, and a couple feathers. It was a pretty low tide, about 0.4 feet. A half dozen seagulls were working the area where a small creek emptied onto the beach, and some crows on the wet sand swash area eating mole crabs (?) I enclosed a couple photos of them. I also put up a photo of a plant that grows right out of the sand, up near the bluffy edges or the beach. Anyone?
